Takasaki, Japan, June 9, 2017 –
Slovenia captain
Tine Urnaut was not pleased with the way his team played in their 3-2 win over
Korea and evaluated that they should be better at closing out their matches in the FIVB Volleyball World League Group 2.
“It was a tough match, we played nervously,” Urnaut said. “We allowed our opponents to play better and let them back in the game. We have to be better at closing out our matches. We should have played better. We had some problems in the fourth set. We beat them last week but the reason it was tougher today was because of the way we played.”
Slovenia coach Slobodan Kovac: “Korea played very well today. Their coach Mr Kim has changed the mood and now they are playing more of the European style. We gave them chances because in each set we just stopped playing. Fortunately, we won in the fifth set.”
